Introducing the Hanami hōmongi - a stunning kimono that exudes elegance and charm. Crafted from 100% silk, this kimono boasts a gorgeous tea-leaf green colour that is sure to turn heads. Adding to its beauty are the hand-painted Hanaguruma (small carts filled with flowers, previously used as carriages by aristocrats living around the imperial palace in Kyoto), as well as floral accents in contrasting peach, plum, and cream colours that adorn the lower kimono, left chest panel, and back of the right sleeve. This vast array of flowers inspired the kimono's name, Hanami, meaning 'flower viewing'.
With its exquisite design and luxurious fabric, this kimono is perfect for any special occasion or as an eye-catching statement piece for any kimono lover.
